The Question is how?
Strategic Resource Management
Philadelphia

Diane Dromgold
Managing Director

How do we ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

Get things done in a matrix world? ? ?

Succeed with competing demands on our people? ? ?

Plan and budget without control over resources? Those were the days ? ?

Get people to do what we want them to do? ? ?

Make space for people to do their jobs well? Make a path just for me ?

The answer
Lies not in what we do
but in what we don’t do –
yet .
!

Look around
Sports
Medicine
Theatre
Manufacturing
Construction

They all have one thing in common
It’s crystal clear
what each person has to do,
and when.

Yes they schedule, but it’s what they schedule that’s the difference Project plans schedule tasks Other fields schedule the people

Theatre
'VICTOR': 'So we hereby apply for a mortgage loan of 69.000 pounds.' ... Julia turns off the dictaphone, repeats and writes and turns it on again. ... ' For which we can offer a first mortgage on the above mentioned Italian estate, comma' ... Julia turns off, repeats and writes and turns on again. ... ' our latest investment, comma' ...
JULIA: What? She turns off. ... Investment? Must be a mistake. We never invest. ... She rewinds the tape and turns on. ...
'VICTOR': 'Our latest investment, comma' ... She turns off, shrugs her shoulders, repeats, writes and turns on again. ... 'Including a manor house, comma, 85 hectares of olive plantation, comma' ... She turns off, repeats and writes. Dennis enters from his office.
DENNIS: Poor little thing, how busy you are. Do you need a little massage? ... He starts giving her neck and shoulders a massage. The telephone rings.
JULIA: Wood and Wilson, good morning ... Beg your pardon? ... Yes, Mr Wilson is a solicitor ... Sorry, I don't quite understand. ... No, I'm sorry, Mr Wilson hasn't come yet. ... Do you want an appointment? ... Beg your pardon? ... Can I take a message? ... I see ... You want to ... Hello? ... Sir? ... She looks at the receiver, shakes her head and hangs up.
DENNIS: Who was it?
JULIA: I don't know. Some stupid snail eater from the continent. "Isn't Mr Wilson at home, I have telephoniert already duo times".
DENNIS: Victor is at a meeting.

Theatre as a project plan

But how can we do it?
Not as hard as you think!
Simple steps

Take the project plan Project plans are still developed to meet the needs of the PM – ignoring the needs and psychology of the people working on the project

Spin it We’re almost there! Just a few more steps

Watch the reaction of your people

And your results improve

Discussion topics
How to do it?
How to get people running other initiatives to cooperate?

No need for magic or heroes
